New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI) A 30-year-old Afghan national was grievously injured after he was allegedly stabbed by his wife with a kitchen knife over a domestic dispute in south east Delhis Jangpura area in the wee hours today.

"They had a fight over some domestic issue around 2.30 AM following which Ajiza (28) allegedly stabbed her husband Samir (29) in the stomach with a kitchen knife. Ajiza hails from Turkmenistan," a senior police officer said.
